Glaswegians have been advised to consider alternative services before heading to A&E this winter, as NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde faces significant pressure.
The health board is also asking families to support NHS staff in helping discharge patients fit to come home at the earliest time possible. If a loved one is scheduled to be discharged, families should speak to the ward to arrange pickup before noon the same day.
Anyone with life-threatening or very urgent health concerns should always call 999 or go straight to your nearest A&E as normal.
